Father Vandenberg's well illustrated book records his ethnographic observations on the Wanyika, Wakamba, Wakikuyu, Masai, and Kavirondo, as well as Mambutu pygmies. The book is based on his journey from Mombassa through Kenya, Tanzania,, Uganda, and the Congo Basin during 1919.

As distinguished anthropologist Robert Lowie observes, "the value of his offering ... lies not in the exposition of theories but in the presentation of facts recorded at first-hand or at least with the aid of competent witnesses."--Preface
